The combinations which games present were theobject of the first investigations of probabilities. In aninfinite variety of these combinations many of themlend themselves readily to calculus; others require moredifficult calculi; and the difficulties increasing in themeasure that the combinations become more complicated,the desire to surmount them a...
We have just seen the advantages of the analysis ofprobabilities in the investigation of the laws of naturalphenomena whose causes are unknown or so complicatedthat their results cannot be submitted to calculus.This is the case of nearly all subjects of the moralsciences. So many unforeseen causes, either hiddenor inappreciable, influence human ins...
Themajority of our opinions being founded on theprobability of proofs it is indeed important to submit itto calculus. Things it is true often become impossibleby the difficulty of appreciating the veracity of witnessesand by the great number of circumstances whichaccompany the deeds they attest; but one is able inseveral cases to resolve the proble...
The probability of the decisions of an assemblydepends upon the plurality of votes, the intelligenceand the impartiality of the members who compose it.So many passions and particular interests so often addtheir influence that it is impossible to submit this probabilityto calculus. There are, however, some generalresults dictated by simple common se...
Analysis confirms what simple common senseteaches us, namely, the correctness of judgments is asmuch more probable as the judges are more numerousand more enlightened. It is important then thattribunals of appeal should fulfil these two conditions.The tribunals of the first instance standing in closerrelation to those amenable offer to the higher t...
Themind has its illusions as the sense of sight; andin the same manner that the sense of feeling correctsthe latter, reflection and calculation correct the former.Probability based upon a daily experience, or exaggeratedby fear and by hope, strikes us more than asuperior probability but it is only a simple result ofcalculus. Thus we do not fear in ...

Long ago were determined, in the simplest games,the ratios of the chances which are favorable orunfavorable to the players; the stakes and the betswere regulated according to these ratios. But no onebefore Pascal and Fermat had given the principles andthe methods for submitting this subject to calculus, andno one had solved the rather complicated q...
